Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Afterburner work without the Radian Ramjet barrel?
No — the Afterburner compensator is specifically designed to work exclusively with the Radian Ramjet barrel for Glock 17 Gen 5. The INTRA-LOK taper-lock mounting system relies on the precision-machined V-groove on the Ramjet barrel's muzzle end to properly time and secure the compensator. It is not compatible with factory Glock barrels or other aftermarket barrels. If you don't already own the Ramjet barrel, you'll need to purchase it separately to use the Afterburner.
Will the Afterburner fit inside a standard Glock 17 holster?
Many standard Glock 17 holsters will not accommodate a compensator. However, the Afterburner's ultra-compact 0.47" length and angled front face are specifically designed to ease holstering and minimize the footprint compared to full-size compensators. We recommend verifying compatibility with your specific holster manufacturer, as several brands — including Safariland and PHLster — offer compensator-compatible options for the Glock 17.
What ammunition works best with the Afterburner for maximum recoil reduction?
Radian Weapons rates the 44% recoil reduction figure using 115-grain 9mm ammunition, which is the optimal load for the Afterburner and Ramjet combination. Standard pressure 115g loads allow the compensator ports to work most efficiently. While the system will function with heavier or +P loads, recoil characteristics may vary, and Radian recommends 115g standard pressure ammo to achieve peak performance and longevity.
